I don’t think i posted this on here before, but i wanted to make a post about my Scarlet Beriko merch! ★~(◠‿◕✿) Scarlet Beriko is my all time favorite mangaka and i love everything she does!! All of the merch is absolutely beautiful! I aspire to be able to draw as beautiful as her one day!! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)

I made the two-hour drive from Kanagawa to Chiba so I could inquire about parts. I was floored at how hospitable and polite the staff was. It’s a family owned business. The father owns a 22b (pictured above), the mother drives a modified Suzuki Swift Sport and the sun is currently building his car in secret. They all spoke to me at length. My Japanese wasn’t good enough to go into the level of detail with the parents I would have liked, but I was still able to converse with them. Their son, however, spoke English well enough for us to nerd out for an hour. I got my final quote on how much the widebody, installation, paint, and their custom exhaust would cost. It’s not cheap, but I was pretty pleased. I got some photos and said my goodbyes.
